Performance Testing Tools

Sometimes we might want to perform the same action multiple times with different parameters. The following is a basic example of how to do this in LoadRunner. In this example we have three different Parameters {Param_1}, {Param_2} and {Param_3} as shown. The following script will perform three searches on google.co.in using above three different parameters. Action() {             int i;             char temp[10];             // Progress Through 3 Parameters stored in {Param_1}, {Param_2} and {Param_3}             for(i=1;i<4;i++) {             //stores the output like {Param_1} to variable temp            ...
